Mary Helen and the Black Pony
by Molly Taylor Sanchez
Courage, Kindness, Faith, and Horses
This is a sweet story about a young girl whose love of horses and faith in God helps her to overcome her fears. My 6 year old boy who loves horses was enthralled with this book.
Face Your Fears
This book is about a little girl who is shy and faces her fears with the help of a horse. It was a good problem solver book to read.
Perfect for horse loving children!
My 9 year old is obsessed with horses and she loves this book! (Although now she wants a pony even more.) The story helps children to be brave and learn to talk to others if they are shy, and how to get along with people of all ages. Filled with hope and optimism, this book is high quality!
Overcoming Fears
This is a great book to give to a little girl with any fears, not just shyness. I like that the little girl was given ways of overcoming her fears but also that it was ok that she had those fears, and that it takes time.
Great chapter book for daughter.
My daughter loves horses and adores this book. She is excited about venturing into chapter books also. This is a perfect start.
Level 2B
Mary Helen is a happy little girl who loves God, family, friends, and horses. But Mary Helen has a problem–she’s too shy to talk to anyone else! Grown-ups and older kids seem too scary to talk to, so she can only lower her head and say nothing at all. Find out how Mary Helen is able to grow and face her fears through God’s love, some helpful advice from her parents, and caring for a beautiful black pony named Moki.
